Much of what we hear about a new world order has to do with domination and power. Theories abound ranging from the USA and the UK to the Illuminati and the World Bank, the IMF and the European Union to name a few. Others speak of an Obama New World Order erroneously believing Obama is the Antichrist. The idea of the New World Order, is a rehash of old world news. In other words, there's nothing really new about man's quest for world domination. A New World Order, Can We Learn From History?

Controversy over the nature and time of the millennium continues. In previous posts we have addressed teh timing of the millennium. Here it is our purpose to address the nature of the millennium in Revelation 20. Some times referred to as the intermediate state or the transition period, neither of these terms adequately describe the millennium.

One item that is important on the agenda of God is that of order. Countless examples in scripture demonstrate the order that God used in both creating and maintaining our world. Are your steps ordered by the Lord? Psalms 37:23. Reading the first chapter of Genesis, we can see an orderliness in the manner in which God proceeded from one creative act to the other.
